Can You Prevent Cholesterol From Affecting The Quality Of Your Life?

In the pages of lifestyle magazines, cholesterol is often portrayed as a potential demon ruthlessly affecting the quality of your life. The rises in the cardio vascular diseases have made people aware of the harmful effects of cholesterol. But not many people are aware of the fact that cholesterol can both be good and bad.

Good and Bad Cholesterol

Is Cholesterol Good! Yes of course; this soft, waxy substance found in the lipid fats of the bloodstream and in all your body's cells is an essential part of a healthy body; it helps in manufacturing cell membranes and in the production of some types of hormones.

So when does this apparently helpful substance actually pose a threat to your health? When the level of the cholesterol is too high in the blood — a condition known as hypercholesterolemia — it becomes a risk factor for your heart health. A high level of cholesterol in your body is the precursor for the coronary heart disease that ultimately culminates into heart attack.

Types of cholesterol

Depending on the types of lipoprotein--- special carriers that help cholesterols to be transported to and from the cells---the cholesterol can be of two major types:
  • Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol

  • High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol
  • HDL

    HDL cholesterol is regarded as the good variety, while the LDL acts as the chief villain. HDL is good because it drives cholesterol away from the arteries and transports them back to the liver which helps it eliminate from the body. In a nutshell a high level of HDL cholesterol acts as a shield against heart attack. So be careful if you find HDL level in your blood is less than 40 mg/dL. (In case of women the amount is 50 mg/dL).

    LDL

    When the level of LDL cholesterol is too high in your blood, it ends in being accumulated in the walls of the arteries carrying blood to two important organs - the heart and brain. The net result is clogging of those arteries by hard plaques made of cholesterol and other substances. This condition is known as atherosclerosis. When the plaque tends to block blood flow to your heart, the result is a heart attack. When the clog disrupts blood flow to the brain, a stroke is the final outcome.

    Dealing with Cholesterol
  • A regular cholesterol checking will ensure that you never face these consequences. So go for a cholesterol check right away and if you happen to find the level of LDL cholesterol is 160 mg/dL or above, there are enough reason to raise alarm. Make sure that LDL cholesterol level in your blood never exceeds the mark of 100 mg/dL.

  • Cholesterol is produced in our own body. The additional source of cholesterol is the foods rich in both saturated fat and Trans fat. For a cholesterol free life, restrict your cholesterol intake to 300 milligrams per day.

  • Also shake off the sedentary lifestyle and make physical activity a compulsory part of your daily routine.

  • Try to give up smoking and cut back on alcohol consumption.
  • Most of the people fall prey of the harmful effects of cholesterol because of their lack of awareness. But now that you know the basic facts about cholesterol, don’t let this menace mess with your life. Take necessary precautions and enjoy your life to the fullest.

    Macular Degeneration - Eye Health!

    Vision problems due to the onset of macular degeneration are quite prevalent, especially in the elderly. Macular degeneration occurs when the macula, located in the central portion of the retina in the eye, becomes weakened or damaged. The result is a loss of central vision. Central vision is used to read and drive, so it is crucial to save as much of a patient's vision as possible as soon as possible. Although this medical condition has no cure at this time, there are some promising new macular degeneration treatments that have shown to alleviate and slow down some of the symptoms of age-related macular degeneration.

    There is a range of vision loss that can occur depending on the severity and type of age-related macular degeneration a patient has. Because it affects the macula located in the center of the retina, a patient's peripheral vision is usually not adversely affected by the condition. With the onset of the condition, a patient's vision might still be quite good, but the situation can worsen over time. There are two different types of age-related macular degeneration that often result in the greatest loss of central vision, and they are called wet and dry. The dry form of advanced macular degeneration is caused by the reduction of the rods and cones located in the retina, while wet advanced macular degeneration occurs due to leakage of excessive blood vessels and the resulting scarring under the macula.

    One thing that retinal specialists might tell their patients with macular degeneration is to take certain vitamins as part of a spectrum of macular degeneration treatments. Patients in the initial onset stages of this condition sometimes benefit from taking vitamins C, E, zinc, lutein, zeaxanthin and eating foods that are high in beta-carotenes, such as dark green leafy vegetables, corn and peas.

    Vibe's Antiaging Formula!

    We are continually replacing cells in the organs and tissues of our body. But if this is true, why is it that we often don’t look or feel as good as we did when we were young?

    STRESS! Internal and external stress!

    Stress can be caused by toxic overload (chemicals in personal care products, cigarette smoke, food ingredients, etc.) sleep deprivation, over exertion and poor diets. When this occurs FREE RADICALS are generated which can cause accelerated aging, can destroy cell membranes, disrupt the systems of the body and even reprogram DNA.

    We need ANTIOXIDANTS to come to our rescue!

    ANTIOXIDANTS protect our bodies from harmful free radical scavengers.

    Antioxidants make free radicals harmless and neutralize their damaging effects. Vibe’s Antiox blend is a comprehensive formula of multiple antioxidant-rich nutrients. It has the highest certified antioxidant potency of any supplement in liquid formulation. Vibe’s ANTIOX2 helps the body neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals to effectively combat the aging process.*

    Vibe's Cellular Health & Collagen Formula!

    Healthy Skin, Collagen & Cells!

    When you look at someone's glowing skin, vibrant hair, and strong nails, what you are really admiring is the health of a substance in their body called collagen. Collagen is a critical component of your skin, and is also found in cartilage, bone, and other connective tissues. It is a fibrous protein compound which creates a protective, armor-like matrix in the body. Healthy collagen is extremely important. Once connective tissues begin to age and disintegrate, your skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag, tendons deteriorate, AND your protective internal matrix of collagen begins to fail. This ultimately allows infectious cells to invade your healthy tissues. CollaMax® is a blend of specific collagen-building and strengthening nutrients to help promote youthful appearance and internal structural integrity.*

    • Promotes healthy and strong collagen, skin and cartilage*
    • Supports healthy and normal cellular replication*
    • Promotes healthy bone and joint integrity*
    • Nourishes healthy skin and hair*
    • Nutritionally supports healthy blood vessels*

    Research studies have confirmed the antioxidant properties of Green Tea and Vitamin C may help guard against many kinds of cellular damage.***

    CollaMax is just one of 4 formula's in Vibe's All in One Liquid Vitamin!

    Vitamins and Minerals! Do We Really Need To Supplement?

    We believe the answer is a resounding, YES!

    A study from the American Medical Association shows that vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the American population could be a factor in many chronic diseases. Even our government has stated, that due to soil depletion, our fruits and vegetables are lacking in sufficient levels of vitamins and minerals. Therefore, all adults should take a vitamin and mineral supplement.

    Many doctors and nutritional health experts have made the statement that all vitamins are not created equal. There are many inexpensive vitamins on the market that are taken in one small tablet, just once a day. If you study these, you will see that the nutrient count is very small, and they are generally created using synthetic material, binders and fillers. Our bodies were not designed to break down these materials. It's pretty typical to find that you get what you pay for. Millions of dollars are spent almost daily on nutritional supplements here in the U.S. Therefore, if you're going to take the time and spend good money, it's best to try and purchase high quality products.

    We have taken the time to educate ourselves about the quality and health enhancing effects of supplementation and know how life changing it can be.

    Please, don't misunderstand. It is still very important to eat an array of colorful fruits and vegetables every day. Whole foods should be our main source of nourishment and supplements are meant to compliment them and take up the slack. This is important, because natural foods contain many different nutrients and enzymes that haven't even been discovered or recognized yet, and may very well assist in the synergistic effect and absorption rate.

    Our bodies produce thousands of free radicals every day. In addition to this onslaught, we live in a toxic environment, endure high stress, and make bad food choices. All of these take a toll on our bodies ability to thrive. Supplementation simply gives us additional nutrients to remain healthy and assists our immune system in reversing the damaging affects of modern life.

    Processed and fast food products:

    Processed food products are beautifully boxed, canned, and packaged to entice the consumer. They are at our fingertips in grocery stores, quickie marts, gas stations and just about everywhere else. These fake foods are widely promoted to appeal to our senses. And the large add campaigns make them appear to look good, smell good, taste good. We're led to believe they are safe for human consumption and we all eat them almost every day (well, almost all of us). Ever heard of the term overfed and undernourished?

    Research has proven that through the manufacturing process many vital nutrients are lost. With the addition of added ingredients to make them more palatable and have longer shelf life (Hydrogenated oils, trans-fats, monosodium glutamate/msg, sodium nitrate, aspartame, etc.), processed food can become problematic to our health.

    Fast foods

    Fast food restaurants are everywhere. Most of us eat these foods and this is okay on occasion, but many people eat the majority of their meals from fast food restaurants. If you do this long enough you're headed for ill health. Some fast food chains are adding healthier items to their menus and this will continue as we the consumers keep demanding more healthy foods, but of course that really isn't the solution to good health.

    As we stated above, eating processed and fast food can be okay on occasion. But do to the lack of quality nutrients it doesn't take long before signs of nutritional deficiencies begin to show via declining health. Eating as close to what God has provided for us is imperative. Eating good clean select meats (without hormones and antibiotics), plenty of colorful fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds will put you on the right tract for good health. Adding good quality nutritional supplements to take up the slack will certainly be additionally beneficial.

    We really don't have to spend our lives overfed and undernourished.
